Description

The aim of the present study is to clarify the temporal variation of verbal and tapping reaction times in response to repetitive auditory and visual stimuli. Thirteen normal adult subjects were requested either to produce the consecutive sound /papapa---/ or to push an electrical switch in accordance with repetitive stimuli at a variety of frequency rates. It was shown that there are some differences in reaction times between auditory and visual presentations. With the auditory stimuli, repetitive reaction times were shorter than the mean simple reaction time for all frequency rates. Furthermore, such auditory reaction times frequently became negative, which means that the reaction was provoked in advance of the stimulus itself. With visual stimuli given at a slow rate, repetitive reaction times were almost the same as the simple reaction time; with fast repetitive visual stimuli, reaction maneuvers were unable to keep pace.
